This along with the Ghia is kinda rough. The interesting thing is hearing the car sound from the outside. It was very cool, I think I will repeat that setup if I build another t4 engine. |

Close. dyno-Soars. Sounds the same, but purposely spelled differently.
Brothers Dean and Ken Schley were among the pioneers of hi-po VW tuning in the 1960's and '70's. They campaigned a very successful Beetle drag racer named Lightning Bug, and eventually set up a small business for producing quality VW tuning parts. Very similar to Gene Berg and Joe Vittone (the original EMPI). Deano was probably the nickname of the one brother, and the character was the cartoon pet dinosaur from The Flintstones. To imply that their products were tested to make power, the word dinosaur was modified to dyno, "soar" means really high power. Some of DDS' products were painted purple to reflect the pet's color. From the gallery:

Just ran across this thread and read it cover to cover! This Notched turned out really nice!
Have to make a correction here. Deano Dyno Soars was the Lowry brothers not the Schley Brothers. The Lowry brothers, Dean and Ken, ran the purple 54 sedan with the Deano motif. Mark and Paul Schley own the Lightning Bug.

that's a funny way of spreading rumors
any time that happens, BAT re-runs the auction. In the history of BAT it's not very common. I'm not a huge BAT fan but spreading nonsense isn't right either  |

I’ve had good luck with buyers coming though on BaT. Always did wire transfers. Hope it works out for you. Nothing worse than a dead beat “buyer.”

Yup, I went thru that when I sold my T-34, as the first guy changed his mind. The 2nd buyer sent a wire transfer, and arranged pick up and shipping. Very nice to deal with. Made things very easy on me. I was sad to see it go.

Went for about the same as the stock 63 that sold a while back. I’m not surprised. Custom builds usually either hit big or flop, this one landed somewhere in between.

Nice looking car. Looks like you sold the Ghia. I would list it on BaT. There’s a few top notch notches that sold for near your asking price.

| As usual another great restoration job! Sad to see it move on, but selling it will make room for your other projects. I can't thank you enough for your help with my Ghia project and soon I will be installing some of your handy work when it comes back from the paint shop. It's people like you that make this hobby enjoyable and worth while. |

One of the better custom builds out there for sure. I hope it goes to someone who knows how to work on it and appreciate it.

Oh, that one is lovely...
Reminds me of mine.
Gentle BEAST!
Like you, I'm thinking of selling it.
For me the fun is in the building.
All that's happening with mine is it's sitting in the garage and getting dinged up by falling detritus.
Good luck with the sale.
Make sure to post up here because I'm dying to know how it goes.
Maybe BAT?
Barrett Jackson?
Kind of a specialty item to be sold at these places.
Might do best with the Porsche crowd?
'Outlaws' are popular with some,
And they're used to spending money...  |
Thanks for the kind words
I wouldn’t sell it if I had room but I have a 61 Westy flip seat that I acquired around the same time that only needed brakes. Needs to be on the road but I don’t have space to work or park. It’s time.
I listed the car here on the Samba. Situation makes auction houses difficult, may contact BAT. Possibly some Cars n Coffee in the OC if I can manage. |
